Award winning
Belimed wins ‘2021 Digital Economy Award’
Champagne corks were popping in the Zurich Hallenstadion on 11th November 2021 when Belimed won the Digital Excellence Award. The competition was tense, 900 companies were running for the award. We have achieved an important milestone in driving digital transformation and promoting digitalization in Switzerland. The ‘2021 Digital Economy Award’ has sparked a flame that will be fanned further with new projects to come.
The future of the CSSD is smart
We assure you that this award will serve as a great motivator for all of our future projects. We will continue to make changes, and through digitalization, help our customers and co-creators transform Central Sterile Service Departments (CSSDs) into smart ones. This prestigious award is important recognition by the jury and public that we have made an extremely impressive transformation from hardware to service provider in a demanding, highly regulated and international environment.
Furthermore, the pandemic has accelerated digitalization initiatives within various healthcare departments. As provider of product and service solutions for the sterilization, disinfection and cleaning workflow of medical and surgical instruments, we operate in a sector that is not immune to the changes brought about by digitalization and the resulting ‘big data’.
Innovation in the age of digital transformation starts with an accurate understanding of customers’ everyday problems. As Engineers of Confidence, we have been working extensively to offer our clients a solution and have achieved new milestones in engineering thanks to our customers’ insights. The result is Belimed’s innovation SmartHub suite, which is paving the way to the first smart CSSDs.
SmartHub is a software solution based on different modules, which ensures that all relevant machine data is captured in real-time from any Belimed machine to be further processed. SmartHub can be run on-premise but unfolds its full potential as a web application – SmartHub Orbit. All relevant machine data and cycle statuses can be accessed at anytime from anywhere – from any browser and any device (notebook, mobile phone or tablet). This gives CSSD managers full control and will transform the way they work.
“I am convinced that our organization will display great tenacity in promoting promising lines of work in the field of digitalized CSSDs in the future,” said Philippe Heim, Global Business Head Digitalization at Belimed. “I would also like to thank our highly motivated digitalization team who have unfaltering faith in the future we dream to build, as well as our partners Trivadis and oddEVEN, and co-creation customers,” said Heim.
Almost all economists agree that digital technologies will become increasingly important in the future. “We believe the future is now and the innovative digitalization offered by Belimed will transform CSSDs into smart ones,” added Heim.
Smart healthcare and smart hospitals, which are imperatives of the future, are only as smart as all their subsystems. This includes CSSDs, which are a crucial piece of the puzzle for any medical procedure – for sterilizing and disinfecting instruments and devices used during surgery and other medical procedures.

SmartHub is our new software which runs either on-premises or as a Cloud application. It captures all machine data in real time from any Belimed machine and turns it into useful, well visualized information for CSSD managers. However, it isn't only a tool for CSSD management, SmartHub is designed to benefit the whole CSSD team thanks to its continuously evolving features for e-learning and troubleshooting.
